5:31 pm
decades. we start off in ukraine where us vice president joe biden has arrived for talks with the acting ukrainian government amid rising tensions between moscow and kiev. but his visit comes a day after a shootout outside the town of le beyonce killed three people. the incident sparked a war of words between key as interim government and russia which both sides blaming each other for the attack on for days after the hit that after the talks in geneva and then to ease the crisis in eastern ukraine. the two sides are no closer to de escalating the situation now russia's foreign minister accuses authorities in kiev of not keeping their end of the bargain. tom pool remains behind barricades patrolled by a nice man. the ukrainian fact he hates that they read to them that the separatists
5:32 pm
let's see monday to succumb to the fifties new self appointed for this man. he had to find out whether the rebels will uphold the agreement signed in geneva and the occupation but on says as to why the accord is they'll pay off your incoming that still make clarity as to what happened in a deadly shoot out at the fifty. the interim government in kiev as saying the incident down. they are showing they got there early this is nothing but terror we believe that the russian side will undertake the masters which we agreed in geneva. if you want. but russia says that ukraine is not ready to upload the geneva agreements to a mosque and has named the canes in ukrainian ultra nationalists to do with you with the though i still continued to go to the crime committed in surabaya on skis his country to the geneva agreement. it shows the current government is the inside i'm a little
5:33 pm
unwilling to control the extremists with the tickets. hewitt extremists. i'm small finger pointing. this time i can rush said. vice president jay bybee and traveled to tnt told that the interim government that washington says the state has failed to use its influence on prey russian separatists in ukraine to deactivate the tension. meanwhile the separatists continue to occupy several government buildings in the region including the regional government seats in donetsk the us and european officials say they're ready to stock lost a bit more sanctions if the fact that is dying out. well let's get the latest now from ukraine and andrew simpson joins us now from the capital kiev was in great to see you i was startled by asking you about vice president joe biden's visit to kiev. of course he's not coming empty handed. what does care but once from the us will they be asking
5:34 pm
for a week away. well i don't know her so much a question about lisa way of the ukrainian army is equipped with their problems with organization and especially of morale after years of underfunding the main purpose of biden's visit is to show the moral and largely financial support for the ukrainian government over the past week a week and they've been finalizing a non international aid package worth more than twenty billion dollars so he's really here just to show that the us and the rest the west is strongly behind this government. this thus given the slowdown since the dance there's a lot of confusion about who was involved who did what is there any way of finding out the details especially considering the serious ramifications that this could bring about it's very difficult at this point snow exactly what happened. the organization for security and cooperation in europe which the main
5:35 pm
international monitoring body here in ukraine actually had to put off his first attempt to go to slow the us yesterday and only reached the town today on this very difficult for western journalists and ukrainian journalists come to work there some have been detained so of the information it's trickling out is largely of bias towards the russian side i miss my final question to mention the big deal the salvage you think especially since enforcement seems to be impossible. well um there's actually been little help from the from the very beginning about this agreement in many ways you can say that the geneva agreement was getting diplomatic cover to the west to show that they were actually trying to do something as we know it's given to the agreement has given the rush to the russian side all is well sort of plausible deniability. they say they don't control the armed man in eastern ukraine and eastern
5:36 pm
the doorman and eastern ukraine say they're not taking that they were represented in geneva. so they've never had a representative there to begin with. i'm very very complicated situation there reporting from kiev ukraine it was stinkin thank you so much for bringing us up today will the knock on effects of moscow's standoff with the west over ukraine are hurting russia's economy which is now teetering toward recession. while the threat to economic sanctions from the us and the eu have already caused a massive capital outflow from the country. internal problems such as decreased consumer spending sagging investment and weakening demand for energy exports have also slowed the economy and we move on down to the continuing recovery operation underway in south korea after a ferry sank on wednesday. the president shared her views saying the actions of the captains some of the crew one count of murder. parkin she is calling for a thorough investigation
5:37 pm
into the incidents the captain and two crew members have been arrested we're facing charges including negligence on the nearly five hundred people on board more than two hundred are still missing was the then high school students the confirmed death toll has risen to eighty seven families of the passengers are grieving and many are stunned at the captain's survive while their children went down with the ship relatives are in despair as the feed their children becomes increasingly clear well yesterday i thought my daughter would return of mine resurrected and not only my daughter i thought all her friends. the reality that even today. instead it corpses are gradually being brought to shore. you're ending homer meaning though south korean president park and has strongly condemned the response of the senior crew members the content of the campaign and some of the crew is in a
5:38 pm
comprehensible to the point of view of common sense is tantamount to an act of murder and should not be tolerated. yes the radio transcript of communication with maritime authorities in the keys to crew members were crippled by confusion and indecision. except accounting at least forty minutes since you evacuation orders. until then passengers were instructed to stay below deck when you order came. it was too late for them to reach evacuation points. ironically a promotional video for twenty ten shows the same count and looking out to sea and praising the ferry safety standards. one that i believe it is safer than any other means of transport as long as passengers on the cruise instruction. it seems now that so many passengers died precisely because they followed the cruise instructions the earlier we spoke to our correspondent is
5:39 pm
this rather in seoul and i asked him if the presidents condemnation reflected opinion in south korea. well i think it important to them about. it picked up a bit more so than did the ferry captain and crew. i think you know it's not unusual or sitting at the skate to cricket to make your own judgment about ongoing education i think in part because the family that the victim. significant part of the popping of the population here. when the government for dragging its feet and ultimately leading to the law applied toward the initial stages of their reputation. and investigators know anything more about what exactly happened what made this theory campsite the prevailing theory is that the ship good enough to wrap her in and out of choppy waters. i called our code issued to one side and that would help make the boat limit it to our work
5:40 pm
investigation really can't make this determination until decrease the out of the water but it doesn't look like that ever happen to be tied to the tube rescue recovery operation is still continuing the postcard that they're not going to put that out of the eu until they get the content of all the family and apparently it doesn't seem to be making that contention and it really a deduction. do people believe in earlier evacuation could have saved more lives. well i think after these transcripts were released so over the weekend. some people are thinking that way typically crowd control told the crew to a contract with the passengers as quickly as possible put my jacket off and get up off the boat. but the crew at the ticket saying that they couldn't go to build the boat had helped it so much that the life boat with a billboard or a dough that you are so close to that so i think i think though
5:41 pm
that i think our focus might start shipping to the ferry captain of the screw and the investigation gets underway. jason's other things. joining us from school. alright china's biggest car show has kicked off engaging with less fanfare than usual. sluggish economic growth and concerns of a quality have taken a toll on the country's auto industry but it isn't all bad news because the premium end of the market is still flourishing chairman brands have been the biggest winners there but environmental restrictions could pollution become a couch the pollution and climate i think part of the mine in china's cities. people who want to carve their own often have to pay huge sums to register a car or they can get lucky. many cities use a lottery system to distribute permits. there is no told them just at the beijing motor show. german car
